Audi RS6 Avant Vorsprung

The RS6 Avant Vorsprung is the highest-specification iteration of Audi's twin-turbocharged V8 performance estate — 592bhp, AWD, and a claimed 3.6-second 0-62 time in a body that will take the weekly shop without complaint. This 2021 example has covered just 27,136 miles, modest for a car now five years old and a strong indicator of a lightly used, likely garaged life.

Vorsprung sits at the top of the RS6 trim hierarchy, and this car's options extend beyond the standard package in meaningful ways: Carbon Twill inlays elevate the interior beyond the typical RS6 cabin, RS Steel brakes with Red Gloss calipers improve brake feel and visual impact, and a full paint protection film has preserved the Grey finish from the start. The Audi Virtual Cockpit in RS-specific guise, Head-Up Display, 360-degree camera, and Comfort and Sound Package are all present, rounding out a spec that requires little addition.

At 800 lb-ft of torque and a 174mph top speed, the powertrain's breadth is the defining characteristic — effortless at motorway pace, aggressive when pressed. Grey is the quieter choice for an RS6 but suits the car's understated-performance character well, and the addition of PPF from new suggests a careful first owner.
